Jovi's Story

Jovi

Just two weeks ago, Nicole received an urgent plea from a contact in Mexico about a severely neglected 2-year-old Saint Bernard. Jovi’s story is, heartbreakingly, all too familiar. Adopted by a family unprepared for the needs of a giant breed, she was quickly passed on to others who had no intention of properly caring for her.

When her original adopters discovered the state she was in, they reclaimed her, but due to her size, she couldn’t return to their home. Jovi was in heartbreaking condition—severely matted, filthy, and severely underweight. She was little more than skin and bones. That’s when we stepped in.

Our first priority was to get Jovi safely to the U.S. and immediately into the trusted hands of our veterinary partners at Carmel Mountain Ranch Veterinary Hospital for a full evaluation and urgent care.

Despite everything she’s endured, Jovi’s gentle and loving spirit shines through. She’s truly a gentle giant, and it’s clear she knows she’s finally safe.

We can’t wait to share more of her journey with you. Welcome home, Jovi!
